A modular flying car from a Chinese electric vehicle startup is gaining attention at the world’s premier tech fair in the United States. The event, expected to welcome more than 130,000 attendees across four days, features 4,000 exhibitors from over 150 countries and regions, underscoring the rapid pace of innovation in mobility and smart technology.
Among the standout introductions is a new model developed by XPENG AeroHT, a subsidiary of XPENG, which stands as Asia’s leading flying car company. The vehicle showcases a foldable flight system that enables vertical takeoffs, low-altitude flights, and seamless ground transportation. This design allows the craft to switch between flying and driving modes with ease, reflecting XPENG’s vision for truly multimodal mobility.
CES attendees were captivated by the car’s reveal as the covers were removed, offering a clear glimpse of the engineering and aesthetic details that define this new era of transport. A participant expressed amazement, noting that the concept had been discussed for years across various industries, and seeing it in person confirmed the excitement surrounding the technology.
XPENG, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Guangzhou, has grown swiftly to become one of China’s fastest-expanding electric vehicle manufacturers. The flying car concept represents the latest milestone in the company’s push to redefine the future of mobility and transportation options. XPENG’s leadership has outlined an ambitious goal for 2030, aiming to sell at least four million vehicles as part of its strategy to become China’s top automaker, according to company president and CEO He Xiaopeng. The firm frames this target as a bold step toward reshaping how people travel, work, and connect across regions.
